Reply to comment by Moonside in i hate "gamer" as an identity so much by twovests

Your bytes are good and valuable.

Yeahhh, tbh people who argue that PC gaming is cheaper... They're hella wrong?? I'd never be able to justify this just for gaming -- this is also going to be a pretty nice workstation for machine learning, 3D modelling, etc. I can;t imagine it filling the same area as hangin out on the couch with friends playing Nintendo

Honestly, this all just starts making library card a hecking steal in comparison and they even have games nowadays! I have a museum card that let's me visit over 200 museums for free in my country.

I can imagine PC gaming being cheaper if your tastes run a bit left field, like if you primarily emulate, play older games, indie games or a specific genre such as visual novels. But then you're clearly outside of the "gamer" culture and it's also clear that even this isn't going to be cheaper than being really into music, film, TV, podcasts or books. And you're likely using the machine to do work, pay the bills etc. which kind of ruins relaxation. Different things and places, different moods, at least for me.
